Narratives of contingency as historical evidence for philosophical arguments of contingency
This article argues that philosophical arguments of contingency in the development of science can be advanced by starting from historical evidence produced through the framework of narratives of contingency. Narratives of contingency are conceptualized both as prospective narratives constructed by historical actors to navigate decisions at what they perceived as fork moments in the present and as an analytical framework for systematically reconst…
Narratives of contingency and practices of comparing in the emergence of German molecular genetics (1958–1968)
